Real, Live Missionaries

Missionaries.

Some people wonder what they do? Others wonder how one could ever forgo their own life just for "missions." Yet other people ponder the day to day life of those who willingly live in foreign lands, brave unfamiliar cultures and learn new languages, all for Jesus' sake.

Personally, the questions I have range from petty to monumental. For example, if I were to be able to speak to Real Live Missionaries, I'd probably ask the following:

* How did you know you were being called into missions?
* Have you ever ridden a camel?
* Why on earth (or why in heaven) did you pick that area of the world?
* Is the toilet paper there, uh...friendly?
* What is the one thing you miss most about the good 'ol US of A?
* Seen any black mamabas...EVER?
* Where could I get a Dr. Pepper?
* What about a Reese Cup?
* I'd even settle for a Caramello. Got those?
* What do you mean bad chocolate? Wow. HOW. DO. YOU. LIVE?

If you've ever wanted to ask Real Live Missionaries these or other questions, I've got GREAT news! Now is your chance to hear them answered, in person (at least if you live near me).

Yours truly, (that would be me) will be Emceeing a full on, totally uncensored night of food, fun and a Q & A session with Chris and Lindy Thompson with Only Servants Ministries.

That's right folks, not ONLY do you get a full 2ish hours of me, uncensored, with a microphone, but you may even get your questions answered and some serious belly laughs in the process.

What's that? You live 15 states away but you'd still like to ask a question to Real Live Missionaries? Well, my friend, it won't be quite the same apart from my night of totally uncensored Emceeing, but your questions still have a chance to be answered if you head over to this post and submit them in the comment section. Also, if you're too far away to make it in for the gala evening, I highly suggest you check out this post and watch the video of Only Servants Ministries in action. It's seriously humbling. (And it may even make you wanna click on their little icon where it says "Donate" and join them in delivering the Good News to the people of Kenya. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.)

Again, if you leave a comment on their Q & A post, not only would it have a chance of being answered, for real, on the blog of Real Live Missionaries, but I may even select it as a question to ask during the Q & A session of "A Living Room Conversation."

So head over to Only Servants' blog, and light up their comment box. I know you won't be sorry. The fun begins on Sunday, May 17th at 6:30pm at Rich Fork Baptist Church, in the Multi-Purpose Building. Be there or be square.
